Title: Minicapsulorhexis valve
Inventor: TAHI HASSAN
IPC: A61F2/14
Filed: 2000-02-22
Granted: 2007-05-15
Abstract: A mini capsulorhexis valve device is composed of a curved, flexible discoid flap-valve member shaped to align with an ocular lens capsular bag inner surface, and a curved, flexible retainer member shaped to align with an ocular lens capsular bag outer surface, the curved, flexible retainer member being attached at a fastening point to the curved, flexible discoid flap-valve member. Attachement of the curved, flexible discoid flap-valve member to the curved, flexible retainer member may be via bonding with a silastic adhesive. In a method of accessing an ocular lens, the mini capsulorhexis valve device establishes a portal controlling access to an ocular lens. The method may include inserting a cannula through the mini capsulorhexis valve device to permit removal of a crystalline lens matrix and replacement thereof with a capsular filling material. The method may also include injecting a cytotoxic agent into a lens capsule, during which leakage of the injected cytotoxic agent is prevented by the mini capsulorhexis valve device.  The method may further include adjusting the refractive power of capsular filling material by adding or removing capsular filling material from the lens capsule during lens replacement surgery or post-surgically.

Abstract: A catheter assembly (10) is provided with a rotational and translational drive coupling (26) and an insertion section (14), which includes a sheath (16) and a core (18) slidably housed within the sheath. The drive coupling (26) includes an elongate rotary drive element (36), defining a first longitudinal drive path, mounted for rotation about a longitudinal axis (42). A termination element (44) is mounted to the proximal end of the core (18) and slides along the first longitudinal drive path but rotates with the rotary drive element (36). A bearing (46) has an inner race (48) secured to the termination member and an outer race (50) coupled to the longitudinal drive element (54, 62) of a longitudinal driver (56). Rotation of the rotary drive element (36) rotates the termination element (44) and the proximal end of the core (18) therewith about the longitudinal axis (42). Longitudinal movement of the longitudinal drive element (54, 62) translates the bearing (46) parallel to the longitudinal drive path; this causes the termination element (44) and the proximal end of the core (18) therewith to be translated along the first longitudinal drive path, the translational and rotational movements being independent of one another.

Title: Drainage system and method for artificial grass using spacing grid
Inventor: PREVOST JEAN
IPC: E02B11/00
Filed: 2002-07-12
Granted: 2010-02-16
Abstract: A drainage system is provided for a synthetic grass turf assembly having a flexible and water permeable sheet backing for installation on a supporting soil substrate to provide a game playing surface. The draining system of the present invention prevents water from accumulating on the turf surface, which could cause the top-dressing layer to "float" and be moved by inundation. The draining system of the present invention includes a spacing grid disposed between the backing of the turf. The spacing grid is structured to permit water not only to be drained vertically through the spacing grid, but also to be drained horizontally through the spacing grid to the edges of the field. The spacing grid is made from one or more types of geotextile or plastics material with an adequate flexibility to improve the impact absorption capabilities and resilience of the synthetic grass turf assembly.

Title: Roofing shingle with headlap seal and improved coverage
Inventor: KANDALGAONKAR JAYANT B
IPC: E04D1/26
Filed: 2003-11-06
Granted: 2010-10-05
Abstract: A roofing shingle for enhanced wind/rain durability embodies two transverse lines of adhesion. A first discontinuous line of adhesive joins the butt edge of an overlying shingle to the underlying shingle. Secondly, a band of sealant adjacent the top edge of an underlying shingle seals against an overlying shingle to prevent penetration by wind driven rain to the roof deck. A reduced headlap is thereby permitted, thereby either reducing shingle size or extending shingle coverage. Exposed portions of the sealant band improve the erosion resistance of underlying shingles.

Abstract: A staggered keyboard for use with a portable device is provided. The staggered keyboard includes a plurality of keys arranged into a plurality of rows of keys. For each row of keys, the labeling of the keys is arranged in either a linear or an arced relationship depending upon the key layout, but the key centers are staggered from key to key along at least two distinct reference lines or arcs so that adjacent keys can be placed in overlapping and/or contiguous configurations thereby minimizing the size of the keyboard layout. By staggering the key centers while maintaining a familiar layout of the key labels, typing efficiency can be maintained while the overall size of the keyboard is reduced.
